Thoroughly enjoyed our first cruise, loved the decor and the classic design of the ship. Not too busy but always plenty of things to do.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
As this was our first cruise we weren’t sure what to expect but everything seemed to run smoothly
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffet was well run and food replenished quickly.
Dined in the Canaletto ‘restaurant’ and although the food was very good I don’t think it was worth the extra $15.
We found the Vista dining room suited us best as it was waiter service. The food was very good but the variety of vegetables could be better.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Did not try many, went in a pool once but unable to swim as people standing around drinking and chatting.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Standard of acts was very good
Children's Programs
No children with us
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Would have given five stars except for the staff at Guest Services who either didn’t listen to our queries or didn’t understand English.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Everywhere was clean and seemed well maintained. We were on the ship for a week but still managed to get confused when trying to find our way about!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Loved our cabin, plenty of storage, loved the balcony. The bed was very comfortable and the stewards were excellent.
Did not rate the port although we knew it was not geared up for tourists. Took a short excursion round part of the island stopping at two shopping areas which were not very good
Based on our experience at Montego Bay of a trip which was booked through HAL we decided to book something locally so we and four other passengers from our ship hired a local taxi and the driver took us round part of the island and to a Mayan settlement. He was very knowledgeable and really made the experience enjoyable.
